Religion - if it does not evolve harmoniously it will be forced to do so by destruction

11/23/2004

Those who study the history of humanity will see that in every domain, all innovators were at first rejected and even persecuted before they were understood and followed by the multitude. It was not their wish to overturn everything; it was not they who decided to destroy certain institutions and replace them with new ones. They came because mentalities continually evolve, and the conditions were favorable for change. This is true for science, philosophy and art, but also for religion. All religions without exception must evolve; if they refuse to do so peacefully, they will be forced to do so by being torn apart.
